What I like best bout the XFX 6990 part is the XFX brand! Seemingly amazing customer support and solid hardware.

I'm in the same boat. I've been ready to buy a new box for a month, but can't find a damn drive to fit my case (Silverstone Fortress FT03S). If you find one, please let me know! (Note: The evil side of me is unsurprised that Silverstone is selling their own slim slot load drive -- but no...

As I said, I can't fit my OS and apps on 120GB, so it's a moot point. Also, I am not concerned about cost (within reason) as the benefit is worth the cost to me and I have already made that decision. I already have external drives to hold files, data, media files, etc even in my current setup...

I'm sorry for being confusing. :-( I was aware of OCZ's technical shortfalls in the past and had decided that that risk was acceptable. I have not heard that they are a bad company for customer support though, that is new. So thank you for that. So I was just wondering if I got...

OK, if you guys think it will be ok air cooled in 100 degree summers, I'm down for the XFX. Y'all know more than I do. I get what y'all are saying about the OCZ too, but this isn't my only computer, it's just my primary one. Maybe if I buy the extra warranty from NewEgg I won't have to deal...

Too big for my desk. I live in your typical Manhattan shoebox. :P

This OCZ is supposed to have a new controller. The specs on it are SO far superiour to the other brands that I thought it would be a good idea. Also, I looked at the XFX card, but there were reports of it running very hot. This box has to run on stock cooling, in no air conditioning. You...

Thank you. I think this link is going to be my final build. I looked at my disc usage for day to day stuff and 120GB is just a touch too small. Any last thoughts?

I'm with you. That's why I wanted a big one. I have some external USB 3.0 drives that I use for holding stuff like my iTunes library, documents, etc that I mirror to each other. It's just apps, games, OS. What's the verdict on your paging file living on the SSD these days? Run without one?

This is looking great. Thank you all!!!

OK, I'll check that out. Thank you!

I don't know. I don't want any other drives. Just a single drive. I thought this was pretty much top of the line GPU? Make suggestions. I'm willing to drop to a 120GB drive, I think I can get away with that. :-)

OK. I have cash ready. Here is what I am considering. Any thoughts to improve performance or ways to save money, appreciated? Thanks in advance [HF]! SILVERSTONE Fortress Series FT03S Case -- $169.99 ViewSonic VA2702w Black 27" Full HD WideScreen LCD Monitor -- $289.99 Rosewill...

I'll send some luv. Danny rules. :)

I'm looking for someone to handle my purchasing, technical quoting (light sales engineering sort of thing), break/fix that walks in the door, and initial prep work on servers, appliance/application specific machines, etc. Requirements: 1. Be able to build and troubleshoot computers from...
